Time for another dram!
Ben Bracken Highland Single Malt
A Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky made for Lidl GB.
A bit about
Since I've recently reviewed the Glen Marnoch from Aldi, I thought it would be a good idea to review a whisky from their rival, Lidl.
All I know is that it's a Single Malt, it's a No-Age-Statement and that it has 40% ABV.
It is a product of Scotland, and, at least the one I have was produced and bottled by Clydesdale Scotch Whisky CO.
Time to try it
Nose: Caramel with a hint of citrus (quite lemony) with a bit of almond
Taste: Sweet, honey vanilla with a bit of pepperiness, but pleasant on the palate
Finish: Quite short with lemon peel
Pros and Cons
Priced at £ 18.49, I think it's good for the price. It lacks a good amount of depth but it's very pleasant on the nose, delicate on the palate and has a pretty decent finish.
It goes great on the rocks and it's been good in all the cocktails I've made so far with it, so I can't fault it that much.

In Conclusion
Sure, there is always the argument of 'I'm sure you can find a better one for that price', which I keep hearing every time I mention an OK whisky at this sort of price range, but if you happen to be in the abovementioned shop and you want a very drinkable whisky, then why not give it a go?
I know there is a Speyside and an Islay version of Ben Bracken so I might give them a try soon. Have you sampled any of them?
You can find the Ben Bracken in Lidl UK, and if you want to try other Highland Single Malts, you can find a wide variety here.
As always, please drink responsibly.
